I agree with void and I might add, I believe that everything we need to heal the planet and ourselves is all within us as individuals and always has been. Once we realize that individually, we start to heal ourselves, our immediate surroundings, all the way out to the planet and beyond.....wf

The planet needs "healing?"

I am not a Buddhist religiously. I do like, and apply Zen teaching to a minor [very non-religiously] way in my life.

Less is more. Stay in the moment. Ect.

I agree with Farkel. Buddha had far better things to teach than Jesus. Some believe Jesus was, in fact, a Zen Master. I am reading this book:

I respect the focus on personal responsibility rather than evangelism.

I believe that most trouble man makes for himself through an over-active mind.

That makes sense but how do you turn your brain off? Mine just keeps going in over-drive.

Meditation, paul. As you're thinking, ask yourself who is having those thoughts, and then, spend 5 or 10 minutes trying to percieve who. It's sort of like stepping back away from the thoughts, or looking back to see WHO. It's not a direct suppressing of thought. When the thoughts don't get attention, because the attention is turned elswhere, the thoughts simply dissapate, like a butterfly fart.
